Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Education Week- Every Student Every
Voice
Welcome back to our families for the start
of Term 3. We are already in Week 3 of
the term and this week we are celebrating
Education Week. The theme this year is
‘Every Student Every Voice’. This year the
South Coast Learning Community are
hosting an Art Show at the Civic Centre in
Bega until Friday afternoon. A selection of
students’ artwork will be displayed in the
Centre and will also be displayed around
the school. You are encouraged to attend
the Art Show to vote for the People’s
Choice Award.
National Science Week
Next week, Week 4, it is National Science
Week. Destination Moon: more missions,
more science is the school theme for this
year. This theme is a way for teachers and
their students to discover past missions to
the Moon and space programs that have
solved some of the seemingly unsolvable
problems—and current and future space
programs, operations and missions.
Students will be participating in activities
related to the theme throughout next
week.
STEM- Project Fire Storm
This term Mrs Collins is implementing a
STEM project in collaboration with the
local Rural Fire Brigade and the Bournda
Environmental Education Centre called
Project Fire Storm. The project relates and
connects to the fires that Bemboka
experienced last year and other significant
bush fire events. Last week students
participated in an introductory activity
where they rotated between the 3 classes in
groups to participate in different activities.
Students watched a documentary about

bush fires, created short poetry verses and
completed an art activity. On Monday August
12, students will be visiting the Bemboka RFS
shed to participate in discussions about what
happens at the shed. As the project progresses,
students will be asked to select an interest
group of either Prepare, Survive or Recover
where they will be required to work as a team
to design something related to their theme.
Zone Athletics Carnival
The Zone Athletics Carnival will be held in
Bega on Friday August 16. We have 6 students
who successfully made it to Zone. They have
received information related to the events they
are participating in. Congratulations!
Soccer Match
On Friday August 23 our school soccer team
will playing against Candelo PS at Colombo
Park, Bemboka from 1pm. This is a friendly
game and parents are welcome to come down
and support our team.
Bottles/Cans Needed for Fundraising
We are still in need of eligible bottles and cans
for the Return and Earn initiative. By
providing bottles/cans to the school you are
helping immensely with school excursion costs
and other programs. The money we gain from
the bottles goes directly to students. Please
place them in a bag/box and leave them in the
nominated yellow bin at the front gates.
Yours in Education,
Miss Claire Morgan.

those who are sick or on leave, and also work in
classrooms day-to-day. If you have an undergraduate degree, you

Bega. UOW Bega campus has Master of Teaching Primary and
